BEING INVISIBLE IN CANADA
Why The Change Coalition Supports the numbers.
Why 1 in 4 Canadians Are Affected
One in four Canadians lives with an invisible condition—chronic pain, mental health challenges, cognitive or memory impairments, learning disabilities, autoimmune disorders, and other conditions that significantly affect daily life but cannot be seen.
A Growing Reality for Older Canadians
Nearly 40% of Canadians are over 50, and this age group experiences higher rates of long-term, non-visible conditions such as neuropathic pain, sensory loss, and cognitive changes. These challenges often remain unnoticed yet deeply impact independence and quality of life.
Why Awareness Matters
Invisible disabilities are frequently misunderstood or overlooked. At Change Coalition, we advocate for recognition, access, and support through community-driven initiatives and innovative programs designed to help people thrive.

Share Your Story
It's Okay to Say "This is Me"
Telling your story isn't about earning sympathy. It's about fostering understanding and creating a space where everyone feels seen and valued. You have the right to tell your story, on your terms, and in your own voice.
Remember, your story is a strength, not a weakness. It's a testament to your resilience and a chance to inspire others. So, take a deep breath, find your voice, and break down the wall of invisibility. The world needs to hear your story.
Community Work
Our goal is simple: to help those with invisible disorders be the best they can be, by offering support, compassion, and tangible resources. Together, we can help make these struggles more visible and create a community of care that helps everyone move forward.
Para-Powered Crew
The Change Coalition has joined the The Para Powered Crew (PPC). The PPC was born from a passion for inclusion, teamwork, and the love of being on the water. The Change Coalition wants to be part of their story. Their story begins on the world stage — but its heart beats right here in Ottawa.

Each of these initiatives reflects our mission—to bring visibility, compassion, and practical support to those living with unseen challenges. As we look ahead, we’re determined to help more recipients than ever before by expanding our programs and outreach.
